Both the Scar and the USP are great weapons and they don't have to be unlocked or bought.

Spas shotgun is pretty good too, and whether you'd want that or the Scar really depends on your play style.

If you like it up-close, try out the Spas, if you're more of a midrange guy, use the Scar.

I'd say until you unlock other stuff go for improved ballistics and/or ballistic focus as soon as you've unlocked them. Some people do complain about DB (Double Ballistics) users, but I think it's a good setup for a new player. Also, I don't mean "new player" as a derogatory term, I just mean it in the context that you won't have all the perks unlocked for a little while.

I'm not really a Smaw hater, but lots of people are. You'll see why.

As far as settings go, I never changed them from the defaults and I've been pretty happy with them. Some people adjust the deadzone and turning speed. Whatever feels best.---The Wii Shooter Unleashed! Wooof! Wooof!Conduit2FC(36): 3354-2948-5226, (38): 4814-7986-3261

Play lots of online matches to rack up money for upgrades. If you don't earn much, play invasion mode and earn money. The best upgrades to get are stabilizer, metal legs, and quickness in my opinion. A lot of the weapons can be obtained for free in campaign mode. As for clans, try VR. I think you can get in for free. Contact Cmo if your interested.

I never had much success with stabilizer or quickness, but I love metal legs.

This is interesting, and just goes to illustrate one of the wonderful aspects of this game. Depending on your particular playstyle, and with the exception of a few perks like Widowmaker Specialization and Phase Rifle Tuning, the perks that work well for one player might not work well for another.
